Incoming from Merely Roleplayers! Omicron ate our episode buffer, but we've grown it back from the stubble and now we're back to regular releasing from 16 August.

Next up from Merely Roleplayers

16 August:

Vigil: Quarry

A Monster of the Week mystery in 4 acts

Hoofbeats echo off Sherrydown's cobbled streets as Cam, Brier, Melody and Renko race full tilt into their bloodiest adventure yet.

Contains blood, bloody violence, and a character experiencing fallout from childhood trauma.

11 October:

Monumental Exit

A Fiasco in 3 acts

After 67 years, Bilbo Biltong's ready to quit the band. But who out there could possibly step into his worn old shoes?

Contains hard drug use, lewd and morbid imagery, and a funeral scene

22 November:

Vigil: All Aboard

A Monster of the Week mystery in a number of acts to be confirmed, probably 5

A way long shut is open again, promising to carry away all souls stuck in Sherrydown. Will Jess, Calistarius, Gwynned and Harper make it to the end of the line?

And don't forget:

The Feed

A slow burn comic horror powered by Black Armada's Unreal system

Seven housemates enter the Big Brother house. They're signing up to be watched 24/7 - but can they even trust the evidence of their own eyes?

Check our pinned post or visit merelyroleplayers.com to catch all these productions and hundreds of past episodes!

You would not BE LIEVE how close the eviction race between Malcolm (my character) and Jake (Ellen's character) is. The rules for Unreal include like four different ways to break increasingly close ties, and at the start I thought "these rules will never come up" ... they're now my most referred-to section of the rulebook

There are no words

As the series reaches the end, a 'no speaking' task finally lets Jake hear clearly - and find his fine voice.

Includes some title announcements (for a @merelyroleplayers production and an audio drama) and guest appearance announcements (I'm guesting on What Am I Rolling? for the second time!)

The Goblet Wire really does it for me. It's bitesized and transporting and intriguing and the language sometimes makes me gasp out loud. After listening to one episode I changed the settings to automatically shunt new episodes to the top of my play queue the second they land. Go get to know the Operator and the Dictator now - you won't regret it.

The Goblet Wire is probably my most anticipated podcast of this year. I’ve been hearing about it from Ester Ellis since before it was in production, and my excitement has only grown. It’s a surrealist, experimental audio drama with fascinating writing and intriguing sound design. The concept of the show is perfect for the medium its told in, and I can’t wait to see how the story spirals out. I can’t describe the show better than they have, so here’s the description from their website: “A role playing game hums within a global network of power lines, fiber optic cables and obsolete satellites. Players who gain access to this mysterious phenomenon create a projection and are guided by the Dictator to realms not yet known to the conscious mind.” I love how the language of The Goblet Wire flows, the vivid visuals it builds in my brain, and the alluring sound design that lends a layer of texture on top.
